I am looking for a good..not great scopr for a Winchester Model 70 30-06. The P.O.S on it now has such a narrow field of view. I would like one that allows for more of a full field view. Any suggestions?

    I bought a ART II scope and it looks to be in good shape.
    Can any body tell me who made it,and any value. The only thing I can see wrong with it is a little foging on the lense.Is there any body who can work on it?
    Thanks

    Can a rifle scope be used on a shotgun? I have a 3x9 that I was thinking about putting on my fully rifled 11/87.

    Was wondering. Will a Gamo scope fit my Benjamin 312 rifle with the proper mounts. If so are the mounts available?

    Need some help before i call in the cavalary................ I have a new 3x9 by 40 Leopold scope on my new 223 Remington BDL rifle.....

    I had them mount lower rings (maye my mistake) but the scope just touches the rear ramp..... the edge of the scope.

    Either way, after about 200 rounds of ammo and 5 trips to the range, and countless adjustments....I was able to walk my 5 shot groupings up the paper and to the left so that I am "X" high but still to the right about 2 inches in 50 cent piece groupings..... I'm happy with the performance, but cannot seems to get to the "X".....

    I am stopping at the gun shop today to ask them, but I am not sure if the scope can be zeroed out too far so that it will not adjust anymore...or I may have another issue...

    OK....I'm open for suggestion...and admistrator
    if you could allow this to go to more than 10 if it gets going. Thanks for everyones help (in advance)

    Sounds like cheap mounts. Replace them with quality mounts. And don't forget to lap the rings.

    Or better yet. Buy a leupold mount and rings. And have a gunsmith install them right.

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

    Replace the red dot with a holosight. No rings to move! If you can find a first generation Holosight you have 2 contact points verses 1 with the second generation. I haven't had problems with the 2nd generation on a Model 29 but I like the first generations better. GHD

    I backup groundhog on the 1st gen holosight, I like it a whole lot better than the 2nd gen. The only advantage the 2nd gen has is profit margin for bushnell. The 1st gens are awesome.

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

    Could be: >Threads are now stretched in the ring. Won't hold.
    >Tube can be compressing.
    >Tubes can be flexing during recoil. Most dots are multi piece tube assemblies, and some won't take heavy 'free' recoil like your 44 mag.

    What kind of mount, rings are used?

    Happy Bullet Holes!
